What is WorldFlags.online?

This is a reference for the flags of the world: 313 national, territorial and United States state flags, each with its own page, plus 110 non-national flags covering political parties, international organisations, regions, movements, religions, historical states and maritime signals.

Every page carries the same core material, an accurate rendering of the flag, its documented proportions, its colours with exact codes, what its symbols stand for, when it was adopted, and a free download in four formats.

Nothing here is behind a login and no attribution is required for the downloads. The pages are built to answer a specific question quickly, what a flag looks like, what its colours are, when it changed, rather than to be read end to end.

How to Find a Flag?

There are five routes to any flag on the site, and they suit different kinds of question.

  • ⌕ Search. The box above filters all 313 flags as you type. It matches on country name, so typing a few letters is usually enough.
  • 🌍 By region. The homepage groups every flag by continent and region, which is the fastest route if you know roughly where a country is but not how it spells its name.
  • 🎨 By colour. The colour index groups flags by the palette they actually use, every flag with red and white, every flag using the Pan-African colours, every flag with black in it. Membership comes from the documented colour list of each flag, not from sampling the image.
  • ◈ By design. The design index groups flags by how they are built: horizontal tricolours, vertical tricolours, Nordic crosses, cantons, hoist triangles, diagonal bands, plain fields with a central emblem. This is the route to take when you can picture the flag but cannot name the country.
  • ✦ By symbol. The symbol index covers stars, crescents, crosses, suns, animals, plants, weapons, buildings, coats of arms and more.
💡 Can’t quite remember the flag?

If you only half-remember a flag, a red field, a star somewhere, maybe a crescent, starting from the design or symbol index is usually faster than guessing at country names.

How to Download a Flag?

Every flag page carries a download panel on the right of the artwork. Pick a format, pick a size, and the file is generated in your browser and saved straight to your device. There is no queue, no email step and no watermark.

Downloading Options

◇ SVG

The original vector artwork. It stays sharp at any size, from a favicon to a banner, and the file is small. Choose this for print, for design work, or any time you are not sure. It downloads exactly as stored, with no re-rendering.

▣ PNG

A pixel image that supports transparency. Choose it when you need a fixed-size image for a document, a slide or a website, and particularly when the flag has to sit on a coloured background.

▤ JPG

A pixel image with no transparency, so it always has a solid background. It produces smaller files than PNG for photographic use, but flags are flat colour, where JPG compression is a poor fit. Use it only when something you are uploading to insists on JPG.

◉ WebP

A modern pixel format that also supports transparency and produces noticeably smaller files than PNG at the same quality. Every current browser reads it; some older desktop software still does not.

Sizes of the Downloads

📐 Pixel sizes: The three pixel formats offer four preset widths (320, 640, 1024 and 2048 pixels) and a custom box that accepts anything from 16 to 8000 pixels wide.

↕️ Automatic height: The height is calculated for you from the flag’s proportions and cannot be set separately, which is deliberate: it means a downloaded flag is never stretched out of shape.

∞ SVG: SVG has no size setting because it does not need one.

Backgrounds

  • ◌ Transparent PNG and WebP — ideal for overlaying a flag on a design.
  • □ White background — useful when placing a flag where a dark or patterned surface would otherwise show through.
  • ▣ JPG — cannot store transparency, so it is always rendered on a solid background.

What each flag page contains?

Flag pages are built from a single dataset, so the same fields appear in the same place on every one of them. A section with nothing behind it is not printed at all rather than showing an empty row, which is why some pages are longer than others.

  • 🚩 The flag itself, drawn as vector artwork, with its hoist and fly edges marked and a strip of its exact colours beneath.
  • 🌐 Basic country information — official name, capital, continent and region, ISO codes, internet domain, calling code, currency, official languages, demonym, area and population.
  • 📏 Flag specifications — adoption date, first use, official proportions, shape, number of colours, designer where one is recorded, and design type.
  • 🎨 Colour table — each colour’s name with its HEX, RGB and CMYK values, alongside a visual swatch.
  • 🔎 Design and symbolism — what each colour and each symbol on the flag is documented to stand for.
  • 🗓️ History timeline — the dates that matter for that particular flag.
  • ❓ A numbered list of facts about the flag and the country behind it, followed by frequently asked questions.
  • 🔗 Related flags from the same design family, and links onward to the colour, design and symbol groups the flag belongs to.

Things to do with flags

  • ⚖ Compare two flags — pick any two of the 313 and get a row-by-row breakdown of proportions, palette, adoption dates, design family, symbolism and country facts, with every difference marked. It is the quickest way to settle an argument about Chad and Romania, or Indonesia and Monaco.
  • 🧠 Take the flag quiz — a question bank for every country, built from the same dataset that powers the flag pages, plus a mixed world quiz that draws from all of them.
  • 🎯 Guess the flag — one flag, four options, instant feedback. Faster than the quiz and better suited to short bursts of practice.
  • 📚 Read the flag facts — a working collection covering the oldest flags, the strangest proportions, the animals and weapons and maps that appear on flags, the pairs that are almost impossible to tell apart, and the flags that have changed in living memory.
  • 🏳️ Browse non-national flags — party banners, international organisations, regional and movement flags, religious flags, historical states and maritime signal flags, each with the same treatment as a national flag.

Flags and Countries Facts

Country facts come from a public-domain reference dataset. Flag facts, colours and their codes, colour meanings, proportions, adoption and first-use dates, designers and symbolism, were compiled by hand for every entry.

Where a detail is disputed between sources, or was never officially specified in the first place, the page says so or leaves the field out rather than presenting a guess as a fact.

If you find something wrong, it is worth telling us: every value on every page can be corrected.

⚠️ A note about the artwork

One caveat about the artwork. The flag images are drawn on a normalised canvas so that the grid pages line up, which means square flags such as Switzerland and the two-pennant flag of Nepal are not shown at their true shape.

The proportions given in the specification tables are the official ones and are correct.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many flags are on this site?

There are 313 national, territorial and United States state flags, each with its own page, and a further 110 non-national flags, political party, international organisation, regional, religious, historical, identity and signal flags on a separate listing.

Are the flag downloads free to use?

Yes. The downloads are free and no attribution is required. Flags themselves are national symbols rather than commercial artwork, but a handful of countries do regulate how their flag may be used commercially or altered, so it is worth checking the rules of the country in question before using a flag on a product.

Which download format should I pick?

SVG if you have any choice in the matter, it is vector, so it stays sharp at any size and the file is small. PNG if you need a fixed-size image with a transparent background. WebP for the same thing at a smaller file size. JPG only when something you are uploading to requires it.

What is the largest size I can download?

The pixel formats accept any custom width from 16 to 8000 pixels, with the height calculated automatically from the flag’s proportions. SVG has no size limit at all, because it is vector artwork that can be scaled without loss.

Can I download a flag with a transparent background?

Yes, in PNG or WebP. Both offer a background choice of none or white. JPG cannot store transparency, so it always renders on a solid background.

How do I find a flag when I do not know the country?

Use the design or symbol index. If you can remember the layout, three bands, a cross, a triangle at the hoist, the design index will narrow it to a handful of candidates. If you remember a star, a crescent or an animal, the symbol index will do the same.

Where do the colour codes come from?

The HEX, RGB and CMYK values are compiled per flag rather than sampled from the image. Where a government publishes official colour specifications, those are what is listed. Where none exists, the values are the commonly used conventions, and the Pantone column is left empty rather than filled with a guess.

Do you cover historical flags?

Some. Former states such as the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and East Germany appear in the non-national listing, and every flag page includes a history timeline for its own design. The site is not a complete historical archive.

Is this a legitimate platform?

Yes. This is the official website, developed in Ukraine, to provide the world with the best knowledge and information, along with download features.
